HARDWARE

INSTALLATION

DIN rail should be mounted horizontally so that the unit’s ventilation holes

are vertical in relation to cabinet orientation. A minimum clearance of 1 inch

(25.4 mm) should be maintained above and below the unit in order to ensure

proper thermal regulation. A minimum top clearance of 3.00 inch is needed

when using the USB/PG port.

The unit shall be installed inside a UL Listed Industrial Control Panel or

similar type of enclosure. A minimum 3.2 mm distance shall be maintained

between the hazardous live parts of the equipment and accessible parts of the

fire/electrical enclosure.

PROTOCOL CONVERSION

Mount the PTV as shown under Hardware Installation Figure 1 above. Install

the rubber end cap. The end cap protects

the pins from damage. Configure

the PTV for zero modules.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

It is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if the unit is

to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:

– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not more

than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the master. Ideally, the

shortest length possible should be used.

– The wire used to connect the PTV’s power supply should be at least

22-gage wire. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be

used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors,

inverters, and other devices which may generate significant electrical

noise.

– A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and

SELV rating is to be used. This type of power supply provides isolation to

accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains

power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for “safety extra-

low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe

to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault,

such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a

single component has occurred.

power supplies.

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although Red Lion Controls Products are designed with a high degree of

immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring

methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type

of the electrical noise, source or coupling method into a unit may be different

for various installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very

important and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome

installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a successful installation in an

industrial environment.

1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected

to protective earth.

2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield connection

should be made as short as possible. The connection point for the shield

depends somewhat upon the application. Listed below are the recommended

methods of connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one end where the

unit is mounted.

b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when

the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.

3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC

power lines, conductors, feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and

heaters, etc. The cables should be run through metal conduit that is properly

grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long

and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation

is near a commercial radio transmitter. Also, Signal or Control cables within

an enclosure should be routed as far away as possible from contactors,

control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.

4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.

5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression

devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables is

effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are

recommended:

Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (RLC part number FCOR0000)

Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion Controls # LFIL0000)
